Colin knew that this time Prince Okamoto was here to seek peace.
As the defeated side, Okamoto wanted the Northern Territory to agree to peace.
But he didn't even think that the other party's posture was so low.
He almost fell to the ground.
As if the Duke of St. Hilde did not forgive them, it would undermine the knight's virtue of forgiveness.
But to be honest, Colin thought that the young troll prince was quite clever.
Because at this time the Troll Empire was already badly damaged, and the 300,000 elite regular army was wiped out in one fell swoop. For the trolls, it wouldn't take three to five years to ease their breath.
As the biggest enemy of the trolls, the Northern Territory will never let go of such a good opportunity, let alone watch the Troll Empire recuperating from their losses.
Therefore, in Colin's view, the negotiation this time was just wishful thinking of the trolls.
But who knows, Prince Okamoto is so thorough and crazy.
Since it was impossible to fight against the Northern Territory, then there would be no fight at all.
He handed out all the military stations on his border, just to tell the Duke of St. Hilde -
I am no longer a threat to you, please stop hitting me.
I have to say that this is a crazy choice.
However, it may really make the Duke of St. Hilde's heart beat.
In particular, Colin knew very well that the greatest threat in the eyes of the Duke of St. Hilde at this time was actually Marquis Garcia - the younger brother who had just been betrayed by him.
Will the Duke agree to the troll's negotiation and concentrate on resolving internal conflicts?
The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became a little solemn.
Vera was also at a loss at this time, so she had to look at the Duke of St. Hilde with a plea for help.
The Duke put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a low tone: "Prince Okamoto, this gift of yours seems a bit too expensive."
Prince Okamoto smiled and shook his head: "My lord, this is no longer considered valuable. In fact, I don't even think that such a gift is worthy of Miss Vera's identity!
Therefore, I decided to make a solemn promise to you - during my tenure as the Southern Prince of the Troll Empire, I will never take the initiative to provoke a war with the North!"
"Wow"
The audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked by the "generosity" of the troll prince.
The Duke of St. Hilde looked at Okamoto with piercing eyes: "Is this your gift?"
"Yes." Prince Okamoto stroked his chest with his left hand, bowed to the Duke of St. Hilde, and loudly said, "It's also my dowry for Miss Vera!"
"Wow"
This time, the audience's reaction was even greater, as if stabbing a hornet's nest.
The male nobles who wanted to pursue Vera glared at the troll prince, and they wished to immediately kick the other party to the ground, and then swear fiercely-
Do you deserve it?
Vera's face instantly turned red.
Then it gradually turned white again.
Because she saw that her father did not immediately refuse Prince Okamoto's request, but fell into deep thought as if he was really considering the feasibility of this matter!
Vera panicked.
She didn't want to marry a thousand miles away from her home, let alone marry a troll!
In a panic, she subconsciously looked for that reliable figure among the crowd...
Colin also saw Vera's gaze asking for help.
At first, he still hesitated.
After all, as a Viscount, he wanted to marry the Duke's adopted daughter. His chances were a bit low.
Originally, he planned to find another opportunity to make some military merits, upgrade the title of the Angele family again, and then come to ask for a marriage.
But when Vera's big watery eyes looked over, Colin made up his mind.
Can't hesitate anymore.
Otherwise, who knows if the Duke will be impressed by Prince Okamoto's conditions and marry Vera to him.
You know this is by no means impossible.
Vera was not the Duke’s biological daughter. He had personally sent her to Yevil more than ten years ago, and now there is no mental obstacle to send her to the ice field.
Perhaps, the Duke was still anxious to send Vera away.
After all, she has threatened the smooth inheritance of the Duke of the North.
So Colin took a few steps forward: "The Duke..."
"My Lord Duke! Please forgive my offense!"
As soon as Colin spoke, someone stepped forward.
This person was the half-elf prince that Colin met at the gate of Winter City that day - Tupé Medywin!
Prince Tupé strode to the Duke and stood side by side with Prince Okamoto.
"I don't think you should agree to this marriage!"
Colin blinked, a bad premonition surged in his heart.
"Why?" The voice of the Duke of St. Hilde couldn't hear the joy or anger.
"Because I think that I am more suitable to be Miss Vera's husband!"
"What?!"
Really!
Colin, who guessed what the half-elf prince was about to say, suddenly snorted.
At the same time, he was madly complaining - why are you so eager to grab the woman I'm fond of?
"Hahaha." The Duke suddenly laughed, "Vera, now a troll prince and half-elf prince, wants to marry you, tell me, who do you want to marry?"
Vera blushed, shook her head, and said, "Father, I don't want to marry yet."
The Duke shook his head and insisted: "Don't say such childish words, you will marry someone after all. Why? You look down on these two?"
Vera looked embarrassed and uneasy, her hands twisted together, not knowing how to answer this question.
Queen Midella suddenly smiled and suggested: "Vera, if you are embarrassed, it is better to let them use the oldest and most traditional ceremony - duel, to decide who can marry you."
Hearing this, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly rose.
Two nobles are fighting for a beautiful girl. Is there a more exciting show than this?
All the male aristocrats of the North who originally wanted to pursue Vera were beaten at this time.
After all, the status of the two who came forward to propose at this time is too high.
Among the many northern aristocrats at the scene, it was really difficult to find a competitor who matched their identity, status, age, and appearance.
This is no wonder.
Because the aristocratic circle in the North has just experienced a cleansing.
There may have been a few nobles who could stand up at this time before, but they were all beheaded by the Duke.
However, if these two "foreign races" were to pick the most delicate and noble flower in the North, then it would be an insult to the North.
After thinking about it this way, many people turned their attention to Colin.
Although the title of Viscount Angele is not high and his reputation is not big.
But he has danced with Vera, after all, maybe he has a chance...
Colin also understood at this time that he had to stand up.
If Vera were to marry someone else, he might regret it forever.
And the Marquis of Garcia, I am afraid he will hunt him down forever.
So, Colin took a deep breath, strode forward, and loudly said: "The Duke..."
"Boom!"
However, as soon as Colin spoke, the accident happened again.
I saw that Marquis Adams suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing all over!
Screams followed.
The banquet suddenly became a mess!
Only Colin held his stomach and complained in his heart...
I ask people to stop disturbing my proposal!
